Well, I thought the stats showed that we didn't "run it down their throats" last week. Wasn't the pass/run ratio pretty high?

That said, I think we need to run more. For all the reasons I've mentioned in other threads-young QB, strong defense, hurt o-line, two great running backs.

Establish a strong running game will set up the passing game. And as Campbell gets better and learns to work better with his receivers, and vice versa we should be in good shape. It won't happen overnight. But I mean I look at what the Steelers have done with Roethlisberger. Isn't there some crazy stat about how he's undefeated when he attempts less 15 pass attempts per game? It doesn't need to be that extreme but I don't think, at this point in his career, we put the burden on Campbell and the passing game.
